Brachyotum ledifolium, also known as pucachaglla, is a plant of the genus Brachyotum that grows in the lower elevations of the Andean Páramo. Its fruits are edible. The plant originates from the northern Andes, especially in Colombia and Ecuador, where it grows in the mountainous páramo vegetation as well as montane shrubs.
